What the Analysts think about American Express
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for American Express stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of American Express stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In the second quarter, card spending grew 9% and revenue rose 10%; American Express lifted its 2026 revenue-growth forecast to 10%. That points to strong demand and continued business momentum. (SEC)
Net card fees grew 15%, helped by strong new-card acquisition and product refreshes. The company says Millennials and Gen Z are its largest and fastest-growing customer cohort, supporting its longer-term growth prospects. (SEC)
Credit quality remained strong in the second quarter: the consumer and small-business delinquency rate fell to 1.2%, while the net write-off rate held at 2.0%. This limits a key risk as card balances grow. (SEC)
Competition for premium cardholders is intensifying, and richer rewards are pushing up marketing and customer-engagement costs. If those costs keep rising, they could squeeze the returns from attracting and retaining high-spending customers. (Reuters)
October regulatory settlements included a $350 million OCC fine and consent orders requiring remediation of financial-crime compliance issues. Although the company said the orders are not expected to affect its 2027 guidance, they add oversight and compliance obligations. (SEC)
